Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

Understanding PTSD

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a complex mental health condition that can develop after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event. For veterans, these events may include combat exposure, military sexual trauma, or other service-related incidents. PTSD can significantly impact daily life, relationships, and overall well-being.

Symptoms

Common symptoms of PTSD include:

  • Intrusive thoughts or memories of the traumatic event
  • Nightmares and flashbacks
  • Avoidance of triggers associated with the trauma
  • Negative changes in mood and thought patterns
  • Hyperarousal and heightened reactivity
  • Difficulty concentrating and sleeping
  • Emotional numbness or detachment

Overview of Therapies

At Patriot PowerUp, we employ a comprehensive approach to treating PTSD. Our program utilizes cutting-edge therapies alongside traditional evidence-based treatments. These include:

  • Integrative Psychotherapy
  • Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)
  • Ketamine infusion therapy (for eligible patients)
  • Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

These therapies work together to address the neurological and psychological aspects of PTSD, helping veterans rewire their neural pathways and develop healthier coping mechanisms.

Benefits of Residential Treatment for PTSD

Our residential program offers a safe, structured environment where veterans can focus entirely on their recovery. The immersive nature of residential treatment allows for intensive therapy sessions, peer support, and round-the-clock care. This setting is particularly beneficial for those with severe PTSD symptoms or co-occurring disorders.

Importance of Family

We recognize the crucial role family plays in a veteran’s recovery journey. Our program incorporates family therapy sessions and education to help loved ones understand PTSD and learn how to support the veteran’s healing process. This approach strengthens the support system, which is vital for long-term recovery.
